Cool venue. Absolutely amazing artist. Not a ton of people but a small crowd can sometimes be the best. Shout out to Lostboycrow.

Went for a small concert here. We're only going to be like 17 people attending. It was cold and raining and they didn't open the door on time because the band was doing soundcheck(the band didn't care as I saw the soundcheck the night before in another city. There was only a small area were we could stay out of the rain. That's the bad. The good was it's a pretty intimate venue was some tables you can sit at or you can stand. The bar has a good selection of beer on draft as well as in can. There is liquor as well. The staff at the door and the bar were all very nice. The sound is great as well. It's a pretty cool place to catch a show

I absolutely LOVED this venue. First of all, the only concerts I've ever gone to in Atlanta have been at the Masquerade (upstairs Heaven stage while moshing/jumping w/ dozens of sweaty bodies that cause the floorboards to sink a few inches--yeah, I get a nostalgic feeling just thinking about it...good times, good times). As I continue the tradition of listening to artists the average person has never heard of, I've come to truly love the intimate setting of smaller venues. I came here to see an acoustic session with Aaron Gillespie (playing songs from the past 15 years from Underoath & The Almost), William Beckett (who played songs from his solo career and The Academy Is), and with a cover by Nathan Hussey (of All Get Out). With the crowd singing/screaming/shouting the lyrics of our childhood, everyone literally becomes family. It's an amazing thing. Surprisingly, the space and the bathrooms are super clean. That and cheap tickets along with AC that actually reaches me has now made Vinyl my new go-to concert site. As you can see from my photos, I was front and center. And as an added bonus, I was able to get Aaron's pick! The only lame feature is parking. Expect to pay (when there's a performance at the Center Stage Theater) upwards of $10-15 depending on the night. Carpool, and let your passengers help with the fee :)

Jessie and I at Vinyl... Good times.

I love smaller venues like Vinyl and went there for my second time yesterday. It is basically combined with The Loft (similar in size) and Center Stage (a bigger venue). Previously, I had seen both a Nirvana and Pearl Jam Cover Band. Aside from the fact they both rocked out and had the crowd's full attention, the sound seems just right. I mean, I am no professional sound engineer or anything, but it is not too loud nor too soft. Yesterday evening I went to see two bands: a Sting Cover band and an INXS cover. Again, they rocked. While enjoying a brewski at the bar (a 22 oz. Fat Tire to be exact), I spoke with a manager there... The reason for the abundance of cover bands is that they sell out. I gotta say, I personally really dig seeing cover bands too (I mean, that is unfortunately as close as I am going to encounter Kurt Cobain =( ya know). So, the bartenders are all guys. I am not single, but, for all you ladies, they are not too shabby looking. Their drinks are not outrageously expensive at $4-$6. Thank the lord my bank account did not have to endure a $12 drink like they sell at The Fox. Also, the venue is small so you can get up close and personal with the artisits after they finish. The venue is basically a bar with a stage. And that's that. Both times visiting the entrance fee was under $10. So, if you have a chance to look on the website regarding who will be coming in the near future, who knows, you may be able to catch some Beatles tunes or something!!! If I witnessed Nirvana than anything is feasible!

I'm SUPER in there like swimwear!!! That'll be my birthday present to myself!!!!

God, his son, Jesus Christ, and the Heavens above were all with me in the whole process of catching the first show of Lion Babe's Summer tour!!! I found out about the show on Facebook and quickly dropped everything to acquire tickets and be in the place!!! I had heard of this place but never had been before until the Lion Babe concert. I spoke with representatives of this establish to see what the best option for buying tickets were since I was in a different city than where the tickets were sold. They suggested I call Ticket Alternative, the company who was actually selling the tickets for the show. The employee over the phone even gave me their number and I thought that was so helpful since I would have to look it up myself. I was able to quickly buy tickets to the show and had packed my bags and waited for the day to arrive for the show. I hadn't been on a road trip since September of 2015, so this was something I had to prep for. I took the necessary precautions to ensure a safe trip and actual got to the city of Atlanta in record time. In my youth I would drive to Atlanta almost every weekend with no problem as I got older I lost my focus on driving long distances but for this trip it was like all my worries and fears faded because I was attended a concert for a band I have been following for almost 5 years. It was like God cleared every road block and speed bump out of my way to fulfill a dream of mine, to witness Lion Babe's greatness in person. I had no trouble finding this location and drove through Atlanta like I was a Atlanta born resident. I broke all kinds of laws just to get there when the doors opened for the venue. My fear of heights was irrelevant while driving through some of Atlanta's tricky roadway. As I drove up to the venue I noticed a parking garage and the fee to park was $15 as stated by the signage. The parking attendant located me a spot by a door that was not in use. I squeezed into the space and jumped out the car. I ran to the meter to pay and place the stub in the windshield. Then I realized that the price for parking was $10 for 9 hours instead of $15. I was relieved. I paid and rush to place the stub in the windshield and caught the elevator down to the venue. I rushed out the elevator and into the venue for the security guard to tell me the venue wasn't ready. There was a band onstage doing sound check. I was FLOORED, and it was after 8pm, in which the time was stated that the doors would open per the information on the venues website. I stood around in the lobby for a while until the security shooed everyone inside the Center Stage venue or out the door on the sidewalk to wait for the doors to open to Vinyl. There were many East Indians outside waiting to go in to a concert of Nepathya. I had never heard of them but I goggled them and found out that they were a band from the 90's and was very popular in their culture. I also heard one of the patrons say the concert was sold out. They really came to support their own!!! There weren't many people waiting around to enter Vinyl for the Lion Babe concert maybe about 15 people including me and my mom. I thought that was weird since this was the capital city of Georgia and this band has been around since 2011 and the lead vocalist is the daughter of mega-celebrity, Vanessa Williams. I have followed Mrs. Williams career since the beginning and I would equally love whatever her offsprings do!!! The amount of people that was in line to get in threw me off because I just knew I would have to fight just to get tickets. Finally everyone was able to go inside and get comfortable before the show. This is a standing room only venue which I convenient didn't tell my mother because she wouldn't have gone if she knew that. Once inside there were a few sitting spaces and my mother found one in the corner. The Dj came up to us and explained that that was the space reserved for the band's merchandise. Since they hadn't arrived yet he said he wasn't going to tell us to move and they would probably come in with merchandise at the end of the show, in which he was right. The show was suppose to start at 9pm but didn't start until about 9:25pm. There was an opening act for Lion Babe. They called themselves Japanese Guitar. Their sound was like a mix of rock, hip hop, and soul. Very underground and eclectic, I liked them. They were on for about 20-30 minutes. There was a long pause after their performance before Lion Babe took the stage. When they finally took the stage Jillian explained to everyone that they had just finished up at a prior gig that day and just walked into the building as they setup on stage. Being they played earlier that day they KILLED this concert!!! Jilly danced and sang the whole night!!! After this concert I thought about leaving my life, gassing up my car, and following them around America!!! I'm still in awe at their skill and drive to be amongst the greats in the entertainment industry!!!

The stage is kinda small but that's not really an issue for the audience lol

Went to see my first live performance this weekend and was blown away! What a cool feeling venue to…read morelisten to great music and enjoy some tasty beverages! The building decor and design in itself is a treat--in an artsy and historical style--but the sound system in that hall was on fire! The line outside wasn't terrible, and the staff and security were all very respectful and laid back. No drama. Fair warning, they let me in with my mini-backpack but tossed any snacks I had in it. No biggie! So, if you find yourself touring around Centennial Park and want to catch a show, it's not too hard. The main floor allows for the party to really happen, but only for those who can endure standing for hours at a time as it's standing only. There's a floor level for VIPs, which I bet was totally worth the money. We sat up in the balcony, so we could sit and see it all. Whew! The seats are very snug! I'm only 5'3", and it was a squeeze for my legs. My 6'1" hubby said he was ok, but his legs were open the entire show to fit. On that note, be prepared for LOTS of stairs! Drinks were tasty and made well. My pizza wasn't exceptional in any way, but it was edible for bar food. And really, the bartenders were all friendly and patient. Just a cool night altogether. Great experience for a small-venue show on a date, with girlfriends, or a big group of fans alike! We saw James Blake, and the only issue I had was the bright flashing lights. I had to squint by the end of the show. But it didn't seem to bother the other thousand in the hall.

They have bars set up everywhere, the down stairs has merch and food, and the sound is amazing. It is a small place so be prepared... it is more than just loud! My youngest needed ear plugs. The place is sooo cool though! Really an architectural marvel. Reminds me of a lower version of the Fox. But the concert was unreal here! I would go back and Will to see other concerts here for sure! Just a warning again though. It is very loud! I mean off the charts! I would bring ear plugs when I go again just to keep my hearing intact.

That's a very useful tip to include because the parking price difference is significant. I'd add it…read morenear the end like this: I recently visited Center Stage Theater on two separate days for the Claressa Shields vs. Kaye Scott fight events--Thursday for Media Day and Friday for the official weigh-ins--and the venue was a great setting for both. Center Stage has a really cool atmosphere that works especially well for an event like boxing. It feels intimate enough that you're close to everything happening, but still has the professional feel you want for a major media event. From a media perspective, I appreciated being able to experience the venue on back-to-back days and see how well the space transitioned between Media Day and the weigh-ins. The staff was welcoming and professional, and everything felt organized throughout both visits. With fighters, trainers, promoters, photographers, videographers, media, and guests all moving around, organization can make a huge difference, and the venue handled the activity well. I also really liked the character of the theater itself. It doesn't feel like a generic event space--it has its own personality and creates a great backdrop for photos and video, especially during something as energetic as a boxing weigh-in. One tip I would definitely give anyone planning to visit is to check the parking apps before paying at the kiosks. I was able to find parking for $21 for the entire day through an app, while paying directly through the parking kiosk was $14 for only three hours. If you're going to be at Center Stage for several hours, especially for an event, using a parking app can save you quite a bit of money and keep you from having to worry about your time running out. Being there for the Claressa Shields vs. Kaye Scott Media Day and weigh-ins gave me the opportunity to experience Center Stage Theater in a completely different way, and I came away impressed. Two days, two different events, and a great experience both times. Definitely a venue I would be happy to return to for another boxing, entertainment, or media event.

Staff was very friendly when we came in. Everyone helped us find the location of our seats…read more Bathrooms were clean, the venue was nice and clean. The bartenders were top notch and very funny!! Would definitely come back to an event here in the future!

The ambiance and overall mood of the restaurant were beautiful--definitely a nice setting for a girls' night out. Unfortunately, our server really took away from what could have been an even better experience. She was incredibly cold and sterile throughout the entire evening. At no point did she seem happy to be serving us; instead, we were made to feel more like a burden than guests. We were warm and inviting toward her, but we never got so much as a smile in return. It was noticeable enough that it became hard to ignore. That said, the food was GOOD. I ordered the $30 burger, and it was every bit as delicious as I hoped it would be. I couldn't even finish it because my appetite said "girl, that's enough" , but even a day or two later I was still thinking about how good that burger was! I also had two $30 French 95s, which definitely caught me off guard. I would have appreciated knowing there was an upcharge before ordering the second one. That said, I also take some responsibility for not asking more questions before ordering. Despite the service, my girlfriends and I still managed to have a great time, and that says a lot. I'm just not sure I'd return. The food and atmosphere were enjoyable, but when you're spending this kind of money, the service should match the experience.

I'm glad we were given the info beforehand so we can make sure we are done and out the door by 7! The bartender was our server and he was very friendly but since he was doing two roles, the service was fairly slow. We didn't fault him for that, just giving a heads up in case you get the bartender too. Anyways, we ordered the fried green tomatoes app, the fried catfish and grits, and peach glazed pork chop with sweet potato and green beans! All the food was delicious and seasoned perfectly! We were stuffed so decided on chocolate cake and peach cobbler to go. We did not care for the dessert unfortunately but we would definitely be back for the food!

I even saw a few famous folks while here as well. 1st impressions are important and this one was grrrreeeeaaattt!! Welp on 7.26.2024, Hubby and I visited and sat at a high top at the bar area.
